Ok guys so I went and looked at a small grouping of items for sale a couple of hours from me here in Germany yesterday. I took a few quick shots of the buckles with my phone and the SS ones didn't turn out super well. I am hoping you guys can give me some advice on if they are good as well as the other belts. There were several daggers in the group as well, 3 were straight reproductions, 1 was a parts dagger (luft) and another luft was likely a parts dagger in my opinion along with a RAD Heuer or what ever they are called.
My concern are the belt buckles as they seem to quite possibly the only original pieces there. Im pretty sure the luft rig was fine (I have owned few and this one looked good to me) but I am truly at a loss when it comes to the HJ, the Weimar one and especially the SS buckles. All have belts with them and the belts were without question originals but buckles are easily swapped out. Would love to hear some thoughts from you far more experienced guys on these things. If I want them I need to make an offer for the lot which sucks as I don't want the repros but all the fakes had original hangers so there is a little money there regardless. That said let me know about these buckles. I appreciate the assistance in advance! I don't have a lot of hope they are good. Matt
